Due to the toll that the current economic difficulties is taking on marriage and family life, many more couples are seeking counselling due to changes in family structure due to job losses and the consequent inability to manage their lives and especially their relationships.
This sad situation that is happening in our communities and country at present is, of course, also negatively affecting the next generation of adults. When a couple is struggling painfully with their relationship, their children also suffer. This results in an ever increasing number of children and teenagers seeking clinical services.
Anxiety and Depression
Addiction
There are also greater demands for addiction work. People are turning in greater numbers to alcohol and drugs in an attempt to solve the problems with which they are now faced. This, paradoxically, seems like an inevitable consequence of the rapid decline in material standards, and an increasing level of poverty.
A variety of techniques are used in Psychotherapy to work with individuals who seek help such as Art therapy, Gestalt therapy, Process-Oriented therapy, Breathwork, visualisation, imagery, drama, Sand Play therapy, etc.
